Very nice! Love the color.

The first link (video) worked for me. The second link I had to copy and paste.

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice work - is this a "Pergo" type flooring put in as floating?

janni · RV-Dreams Family Member

Yes, this is floating. It is put down like laminate but is not at all like laminate finish. The best part is no noise when walking on it and it is very "cushiony" to stand on.

Well, I am certainly NOT a flooring or RV expert. Shoot, I wouldn't say I was expert in anything. But, what does "floating mean for sure, and could it be a problem with shifting in a moving vehicle?

Also, did it seem to be about the same weight as the carpet?

And for the camera and Photoshop....just about any camera will take good photos and Photoshop is one of three imaging software packages that I use on a very limited basis. (I don't "manipulate" much of anything in my photos.) But, while Photoshop is good, it isn't the one I use the most. When the other two get REALLY outdated, then I'll have to learn Photoshop more. I only bought it because one photo printer purchase would NOT operate with either of my other two software packages.

Live is for living, loving, and sharing. Worry shouldn't be a part of the picture. Crop it out!

Terry, It is the same as laminate in that it is not glued down. We have it bordered in trim to keep it in place. It doesn't move. The carpet and pad that we replaced were very thick and heavy. This flooring may be a bit heavier. We started our fulltime in a 23 ft. mh so we don't have much weight.
Thanks for looking!

Hey janni,

Did you have to deal with any areas around your slides? I'm dyin' to do new floors.

janni · RV-Dreams Family Member

The carpet on the slides appears to be in better shape(or maybe we just have a fear of attempting that yet) so we left that and tore everything up to the edge that the slide comes over. "butted" the new flooring up to the edge and cut with a sharp vinyl knife. Decided on a line to stop at going toward the living room and then purchased a regular carpet to lino strip from the hardware store. Picked up some nice oak at the lumber yard and my dh made a nice trim(stained and laquered to match cabinets) to go around edges as the carpet was laid down before the cabinets and some strings remained.
I hated that carpet in the kitchen and bathroom! It didn't seem soo bad.........until we started taking it up....yukkk!
We may change the other flooring but I do like carpet in the living and bedroom....comes right after the new ceiling fan, custom dinette........ahhh the list goes on and on.

Great job Janice. Are you for hire? smile

Seriously, nothing feels finer than to look at a completed project and say WOW that looks good.

Thank you for the nice comment Jerry/Carol. There is a lot of gratification in a job that turns out well. My intent was to share information. I REALLY appreciate what others here have shared with me.
